eBay negative feedback examples for buyers from sellers

While sellers can’t leave buyers negative feedback, they do have other avenues of recourse for dealing with troublesome buyers. eBay enables sellers to block buyers, and has a system in place for reporting buyers who’ve violated eBay’s policies.

How to leave feedback on eBay as a buyer

Buyers on eBay have a lot of choices for leaving feedback, and that’s because feedback is one of the most important factors which other buyers will take into account when choosing whether or not to purchase from a seller.

eBay will send buyers an email reminding you to leave feedback for your order, which will have a link that you can follow to leave your feedback. You can also leave feedback by logging into your eBay account, navigating to your purchase history, and locating the order. If you haven’t left feedback for a transaction, you’ll see the option to leave feedback here.

How to leave feedback on eBay as a seller

As a seller on eBay, your feedback options are much more limited: you can only leave your buyers positive feedback. This limitation was put in place by eBay many years ago, and has made it more challenging to utilize the feedback system as a seller on eBay. Regardless of the positive rating, you are free to write whatever you wish in your feedback (provided that it is in line with eBay’s feedback policies).

To leave feedback for a buyer, you’ll need to locate the relevant transaction through the seller hub or find it through the sold section in My eBay. If you’ve not left feedback for the transaction yet, you’ll see the option to leave feedback here. Select the transaction for which you’d like to leave feedback, and click “leave feedback.” Then, select “positive,” input your comment, and click “leave feedback.”

How to automatically leave eBay feedback for buyers

Leaving feedback as a buyer usually isn’t too troublesome, depending on how many items you purchase, and most sellers will even send a reminder to leave feedback after a week or so. But staying on top of buyer feedback as a seller is much more challenging, especially if you sell hundreds or thousands of items a month.

Luckily, there are ways to make this process easier. One way is to automate the process in eBay’s selling preferences, but this approach has its limitations. You’ll only be able to leave automatic feedback for buyers after they’ve paid or after they themselves have left positive feedback for the transaction, and won’t have much in the way of personalization and customization.

Another way to automate the process is through the use of third-party tools like 3Dsellers, which enables you to automate feedback, as well as various other tasks associated with managing an eBay store. 3Dsellers offers multiple services with tiered pricing options that are designed to work for you, and adapt to your eBay business as it grows.

More things you should know about eBay feedback

One common misconception on eBay is that negative feedback is a permanent stain on your account. While there is some truth to that, there are several things you should know about how negative and neutral feedback work.

Feedback never goes away and you can actually scroll back and see all the feedback your account has ever received. Your entire feedback history does not factor into your account’s current rating, however. Instead, eBay only takes into account the last twelve months of feedback when calculating your eBay selling account’s health, so you always have the opportunity to improve your rating by maximizing positive feedback and minimizing negative feedback.

You also have the option of sending a feedback revision request to a buyer that has agreed to revise their feedback and rating. You should only use this option in cases where a buyer has agreed to revise their feedback, as you have a limited number of feedback revision requests at your disposal (5 feedback revision requests per calendar year). Alternatively, if a negative or neutral feedback is in violation of eBay’s feedback policy, you may be able to communicate with eBay directly to have it removed.

Another bit of good news is that even though you can’t always remove or revise negative feedback, you will always be able to reply to it. Replying to a feedback means leaving a public response, and gives you the chance to tell your side of the story in a few words. Keep in mind that your reply must also be compliant with eBay’s feedback policies.

In the end, it’s important to remember that receiving negative or neutral feedback is not the end of the world, and try to take every feedback as a learning experience. Remember that eBay only takes into account your most recent 12 months of feedback, and if you take the time to learn from each feedback experience, you’ll quickly be able to minimize the number of negative and neutral feedbacks you receive.
